Palytoxin-related keratoconjunctivitis assessed by high-resolution anterior segment optical coherence tomographyMonica Berges Marti, David Aragon-roca, Fernando Trejo-velasco, Marta Garrido-marin, Joan Oliveres, Sara Martin NaldaDepartment of ophthalmology, Vall d'Hebron University Hospital, Barcelona, SpainA case of bilateral palytoxin-induced keratoconjunctivitis is presented. A 63-year-old man presented to the emergency department with symptoms of red eye, purulent discharge, and foreign body sensation in both eyes. On slit lamp examination, epithelial defects in both eyes with a ring-shaped corneal stromal infiltrate in the right eye and a marginal stromal infiltrate in the left eye were noted. High-resolution anterior segment optical coherence tomography (HR-AS-OCT) showed stromal hyperreflectivity and Descemet folds. Bacterial, fungal and amoebic cultures were taken. Empirical treatment with topical dexamethasone as well as antibiotics and systemic doxycycline was started.
